| X | X | X | Step 1 | Identify the platform(s), the test materiel installation location(s), and geographical deployment location(s). |
| X | X | Step 2 | Identify the platform(s)/materiel specification requirements. Specification requirements should encompass all planned mission requirements. | |
| X | Step 2a | Identify the specific mission scenario(s). | ||
| X | X | Step 3 | Identify applicable individual forcing functions (temperature, altitude, humidity, input electrical power, functional vibration , etc.) (Exception: short term and transient events, e.g., gunfire, crash shock, etc.) | |
| X | Step 3a | Identify the specific mission forcing functions that support the mission profile. (including climatic, dynamic, and electrical functions) | ||
| X | X | X | Step 4 | Identify operational requirements of the equipment, including duty cycle, transients, and operational modes (to include all anticipated mission operational scenarios) |
| X | X | X | Step 5 | Identify the temperature, altitude, humidity, input electrical power, and functional vibration levels for each segment of the test profile. See para 2.2.4 and sub paragraphs. |
| X | X | X | Step 6 | Identify the type of cooling (RAM/ECS/convective) and cooling environment for the test item for each segment (see paragraph 2.2.4.1 and 2.2.4.1.1). |
| X | X | X | Step 7 | Develop a table listing all the applicable forcing functions/levels and operational requirements identified in the above steps for each mission or platform. |
| X | X | Step 8 | Identify the applicable combinations of climatic/dynamic/ power parameters considering the full range of platform requirements, as derived from the LCEP. This should include all anticipated combinations of thermal/altitude/humidity/vibration environment and the associated operational/power requirements for each segment of the test profile. For high performance aircraft the Mach/altitude effects shall be considered. | |
| X | Step 8a | Identify the thermal/altitude/humidity/vibration environment combinations and the associated operational/power requirements for each mission segment (start, idle, taxi, take off, climb, cruise, loiter, combat, maneuver, descent landing). | ||
| X | X | Step 9 | Using the data identified in steps 1 through 8, develop a representative composite table/profile for thermal, altitude, humidity, functional vibration, test item cooling, and operational power for the most severe expected environments. (see Table 520.5-IX and Figures 520.5-3a and 520.3b) | |
| X | Step 9a | Using the data identified in steps 1 through 8, develop a thermal, altitude, humidity, functional vibration, test item cooling and operational power profile. | ||
